i have good news...
i had success with cygwin64. In cygwin64 the mouse behaves as expected.
i can compile the program, run it, and make clicks with touchpad from laptop, and the program behaves as...

You are correct !!! This is not touchpad issue but terminal issue.
Windows cmd terminal does not accept mouse clicks. I tried on Windows 11 with a usb mouse.

so john.c was right... it does not work on Windows also with a mouse nor touchpad...

thanks for feedback

Yes this is the case...
i use XTerm in Linux and cmd on Windows11

of course I want any help...don't take it personally...

for me it works with vm so that's enough

on the other hand I don't have a mouse handy to try

thanks for your time and feedback anyway

That is not a solution. If i use a usb mouse it will work.

I tried a binary version for windows of midnight commander and there the touchpad works... i am wondering how they did it ?

gcc.exe -Wall -g -IC:\msys64\mingw64\include\ncursesw -c C:\Users\demos\Documents\WORKSPACES\C\NCURSES\4_5\main.c -o obj\Debug\main.o
gcc.exe -o bin\Debug\4_5.exe obj\Debug\main.o -lncursesw


...

i use ncursesw from Msys2


I use no library


i use msys2 mingw64 gcc


i tried on virtual box with a Debian 13. On Linux the program works fine because the OS sees mouse as USB Tablet...

i think this issue has nothing to do with Windows OS but ncurses for Linux or Windows do not support touchpad clicks as mouse clicks !

Thanks for your advice !!!
i post it also at Windows thread

Hello, i tried ncurses and touchpad clicks from an ASUS laptop with Msys2 installed.

It seems that ncurses for Windows do not support touchpad.

How can i catch touchpad-mouse clicks for ncurses...
